Today's entry in the little book by Max Lucado titled "Everyday Blessings". Good one as we march toward Easter:

"Surely this was a righteous man."
~ Luke 23:47 NIV

"All the Roman centurion did was see Jesus suffer. He never heard him preach or saw him heal or followed him through the crowds. He never witnessed him still the wind; he only witnessed they way he died. But that was all it took to cause this weather-worn soldier to take a great step in faith. 'Surely this was a righteous man'.

"Anybody can preach a sermon on a mount surrounded by daises. But only one with a gut full of faith can LIVE a sermon on a mountain of pain."
